We all have been there stressing out that our period is late, asking ourselves 100 questions as to why. Most women think that periods being late are only because they are have conceived and are now pregnant, and this isn't true. There are several different reasons a period can be late.

Your first period will occur during the transition into adulthood that we all know as puberty. A lot of changes will be happening during this time with your body, brain, life, and just about everything else. While it is not possible to know exactly when your first period will occur, but it is usually between the ages of 8 and 14. Every girl is different, so don’t feel weird or strange if your friends have started theirs already and you haven’t.
